Role Description:

The Regional Coordinator (RC) is a person with strong leadership skills and proven experience on mentoring people.

Club Captains (CC) set up and maintain a structure and strategy for their local clubs that ensures the ongoing growth and success of their club.

By working closely with the staff mentors and supporting the club captains, the RC will make sure the Clubs program is successfully running in their local region.

A Regional Coordinator does *not* run any clubs. Instead, they are recruiting, on-boarding, and sustaining Club Captains to achieve positive outcomes, a sense of community and purpose, and to further Mozilla’s mission in the world.

Regional Coordinators will serve 1 - 10 Club Captains located locally in realizing their full potential through continued mentorship, clear leadership pathways and storytelling with Mozilla.

Regional Coordinators can expect to dedicate at least 3 hours a week to supporting their clubs, recruiting, and connecting with staff.

We plan to start the program with 25 Regional Coordinators and add coordinators as we continue to expand. As this is a new program, some RC’s may start off without any Club Captains, until the program expands into their region.

Regional Coordinator Requirements:

Regional Coordinators (RC’s) are appointed by Mozilla Club staff and are responsible for overseeing multiple Club Captains in one geographic location. To remain listed as an active Regional Coordinator you must:
